We have built this dedicated store to open up a plethora of options for parents who want to provide world class learning opportunities for their children. We aim to bring more interactive toys that give a strong leg up to the growth of children.”

Here is the list of skills that children develop at specific age groups and toys which support the development of those skills:

Below 1 year

Skills to develop: Auditory, Gross Motor, Tactile, Visual

Shop-by-skill store has several options for infants below 1 year. The toys have been specially curated keeping various critical life stage skills in mind like auditory skills, visual skills, gross motor skills, etc. The toys enable the infants to explore several objects by shaking, banging and using the objects correctly. These skills are integral for an infant’s development. The toys in this section can teach them how to stand without support, imitate words, repeat sounds, crawl forward on all fours, look at correct picture when object is named and so on.

Between 12 months and two years, toddlers start becoming more independent and do things on their own. They actively engage with others in their environment.These can enhance the skills of your child stimulating them and exposing them to age-appropriate challenges and experiences. Kids can learn many things like coordination, understanding directions, and social skills.

The toys for this age group would enrich the creative skills, language skills and fine motor skills for kids between 2-4 years. The toys curated have exciting DIY options, colouring kits, fish catching game, kitchen set, among others to develop the pincer grips to pick up items, creative minds, understanding of cause and effect and sensory processing to name a few.
